Blackout the back side windows etc.

My questions are what brand etc would you use to make the back rear windows, and maybe the rear sliding one. I'd like it as dark s possible. Brand of tint etc. Is their any concern with long term damage to the heating element in the rear sides as well. What would you expect to be a reasonable price for this? The fronts were done by the dealer as dark as legal here. Thanks for the ideas and recommendations.

 

I personally would run a 10% high-quality ceramic tint over the factory privacy glass. You can go darker with 5%, but it will affect nighttime visibility out of those windows. I have always used Huper Optik ceramic with amazing results. Picking an experienced and detailed tint installer is more critical than a tint brand. Once you find that installer, see what they sell/recommend for ceramic tint.

 

Here is another option. Snap Shades.
I have tints and the shades. You can see through them from inside.

How do they look from the outside? Complete blackout? I'm debating tinting my cargo area windows darker but these seem easy

 

What steelevo said above is excellent advice regardless of what tint percentage you choose. Research a well-reviewed tint shop that does high-quality work. Visit a few shops and get a feel for the business and the people there. If you pay peanuts you get a monkey.

I put 31% Autobahn Black all around and the front meters at 28% (state legal) and the rear and back window meter at around 10% due to the factory privacy glass already being about 30%.

You may want to have the dealer-installed front window tint removed as it is probably of low quality with minimal heat rejection. I paid to have mine removed when they installed the Autobahn Black.

If you are interested in privacy for spending time in the back, that's another issue. I sleep in my truck three nights a week, every week. See my post in the thread below for what works for me:

For me its complete blackout now. Cant even peep through port window from outside
But then i already had 20% tint.

With the shades, I can remove during inclement weathers for better visibility. Unlike 5% tints.

 

5% ceramic for me. Not doing ceramic actually traps heat in your car. Pay the extra. It’s totally worth it

 

good to know. Ill make sure I use experienced installers and go ceramic. Thx folks.

 

So I found a solid experienced shop in Greeley who did my back two windows with 5% ceramic. Im happy with the way it looks. I may do more later..I'll wait and see how I like it. They made it look so easy. They use a computer set up that cuts it perfectly for them.

 

I did 5% on the two front windows and wrapped the rest with 15% over the factory shaded glass on the rest of the side windows of the rear minus the rear hatch I left factory and it came out really dark.

 

Looks Awesome. Visibility on my front tint 20% layer is a bit of Issue during inclement weather and turning into dark side streets without Floodlights.

You will get used to it after a while
